Field Trip

Our kindergarten field trip has been set for the 14th and 15th of April. We are going to the Children's Museum of Indianapolis to experience the exhibits and to view a special live presentation of Sleeping Beauty in the Lilly Theater at 11:30. We will need chaperones. I have placed a link of the permission slips on the class website for you to print and send back. I will also send home a "paper" copy on the next attendance day. It should be a really fun day for everyone! Mark your calendars!

Spring Party

Hello Parents. We are planning for the Spring Parties that will take place on March 26 and 27 at 1:30 pm. When thinking about these parites, we ask that you please keep a few things in mind:
ALL FOOD MUST FIT THE HEALTHY FOOD GUIDELINES; THIS MEANS IT MUST NOT HAVE SUGAR OF ANY FORM LISTED AS THE FIRST INGREDIENT. PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND.
WE HAVE A "NUT-FREE" CLASSROOM. PLEASE CHECK THE LABELS CAREFULLY!
Thank you for keeping the health and safety of our students priority. Everyone likes sweets (especially me), but it is school policy and we must obide by it. Let's make our last party in kindergarten our very best!!

Moving into March

Hello parents. It's March! Let the "madness" begin! Here are some exciting things happening this month:
March 6: Movie Night 6-8 pm
Showing High School Musical 3
Proceeds benefit the Komen Foundation
March 19: 12:45 dismissal
March 24 & 25: Spring Pictures
March 26 & 27: Spring Parties 1:30-2:30 pm; report cards go home

Miss Beard is beginning many exciting units of study including a mini-economy where students will each have a job and responsibilities in the classroom. She is teaching measurement, new word families, weather, and nouns and verbs.

I am including some pictures taken in February. It's hard to believe that spring is nearly here. We are ready for some "outside" weather!

I am loving listening to the students read each day! I am amazed at the strong readers in both classes! Wow! The children read at 10:40 each day. Feel free to come in on your child's day!

Have a great week!

100th Day of Kindergarten

We had a great time celebrating the 100th day of kindergarten! We had stations where the children made 100 day glasses, 100 snacks, 10 stacks of 10 unifix cubes, and a paper chain of 100 links. The students listened and interacted with the stories "Miss Bindergarten Celebrates the 100th Day of Kindergarten" and "100 Ways to get to 100". We finalized our celebration with a snack mix of all of the 100 tasty items sent in by you. Thank you for helping to make this day memorable for all of the children! I would like to send a special thank you to Mr. Bost and Mrs. Buck for your help at the stations! We couldn't have done it without your extra hands and kindness!
